The response to President Obama's unconstitutional appointment of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and three individuals to the National Labor Relations Board has been predictable and disappointing. Politico.com's Arena is a helpful account of the justifications of those on the political left for the act which seems to be little more […]
Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, […]

Weekly Standard reporter Stephen Hayes cause a bit of a brouhaha this morning with a report that Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who is chairman of the House Budget Committee, is seriously contemplating a run for the White House. After Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels refused to run a couple months back, Ryan (and perhaps N.J. Gov. […]
